wine with derrick of bommarito

Colonia las liebres...hares colony...bright fruit, plenty of acid...a nice value would go with hossenpfeffer.(sp?)..

the Black Chook Australia almost black in the glasss, very dark purple..a cofermented blend of Shiraz and a little Viognier to bring out the sweetness and cut the heavy pepper. mostly found in the rhone valley this style is very popular in australia too. juicy , blueberry and a nice long finish.

Etude Pinot Noir 2006 Carneros... they have lowered the price and it may be that the 06 vintage doesnt live up to the past years. a little earthy and mushroomy, some heat from the alcohol and nice enough tannin. Not the powerful wine of the past but pleasant enough
